Well, the JIRA in which the Futures were discussed is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-39. 9 years old ;-) back then, it was inspired by Java 5 Future, but the decision to switch away from Java 1.4 was taken in late 2006. Although the IoFuture classes weren't removed... Hope it helps !
